This is How We Row

Rowing on water has its limitations: weather, location and time. At Orangetheory Fitness, it’s always rowing season, and we are all about those watts!

At first glance, the rower can seem intimidating, but that might just be because you’ve never seen anything like it before. Although rowing is a high-intensity exercise, it’s for everyone! The Orangetheory workout is scientifically designed for all fitness levels and pushes you to challenge and improve your performance.

With an attentive Orangetheory coach guiding your every move and encouraging you to do your best, you’re sure to come out of each workout and fitness challenge feeling like a champion.

Orange Tip: The order of your form is one of the most important parts of rowing! Our coaches will always make sure your form is in top shape so you can achieve results and avoid injury.

Row Around the World

Open studios across the Orange Nation are tracking their meters and their progress toward More Life during the Orange Voyage fitness challenge!

Throughout the month of November, the Orange Voyage challenge is metaphorically taking members’ rowing across oceans and around the world. Just how far will members row this month? They’re collecting stamps on a passport as they accumulate distance. Each of the destinations on the passport is home to an Orangetheory studio. The Orange Nation has gone global!

Ready, set, ROW!

The Orange Voyage departs at 0 meters from Fort Lauderdale—home of the very first Orangetheory Fitness studio!

This marks the beginning of the journey—and, like any big trip, a moment members are anticipating and excited for.

The start of any fitness challenge is a big moment. So will Day 1 of your fitness journey with us when we open. It will be challenging but life-changing, and with your future Orangetheory Fitness Hattiesburg family supporting you, you’ll be sure to make a splash and accomplish all your goals.

Remember, anticipation and nerves aren’t a bad thing! Like any journey, you may not be sure what lies ahead of you, but once you get to your destination, you’ll realize you’re exactly where you need to be.

Just Getting Started

Starting is the hardest part, but once you’re here in the Orange Zone, you’re going to love every second of it! Then it’s all about getting into a good rhythm. The same is true when you get on the water rower for a challenge like the Orange Voyage.

When focusing on rowing, you can look at how many strokes it takes you to reach 100 meters. How many meters are you rowing per minute? Are you rowing with consistent form and technique? Are you rowing at a pace you can maintain or beat?

Once you’ve adjusted to a new workout or a new challenge, this is the time to get to know your body and what you’re capable of. No journey is complete without learning something new about yourself.

Halfway There and Rowing Like There’s No Tomorrow

It’s not uncommon to feel a little uncertain at the beginning of something new—but you’ll soon find a sense of comfort in the discomfort, knowing that every push is worth the gains.

OTF members will earn a passport stamp for China at 15,507 meters into their Orange Voyage fitness challenge.

A point like this will be your perfect opportunity to take a look at the big picture: where have you been and where are you headed? Are you happy with your pace? Is it time to push a little harder and get even more out of your journey? These aren’t questions you’ll have to answer on your own! Your coaches will be there for you through it all.

The rowing and other elements of our workout won’t get easier, but you will get stronger. The world will be yours for the taking!

Goal-Getter

For those members who row through their entire Orange Voyage passport, they’ll rack up over 28,900 meters in total distance for the month. Talk about an accomplishment! Orangetheory members gain incredible experience through each fitness challenge—and through every workout along the course of their fitness journey.

Some day you’ll be reflecting on Day 1 at Orangetheory here in Hattiesburg or Day 1 of a fitness challenge here at our studio. You’ll constantly be moving forward, gaining endurance, strength, and power—on the rower, in the rest of the workout, and in your life outside the studio.

Does life look different on this side of victory? What can you do today that you couldn’t before? What can you say about yourself now that wasn’t true before? What will life look like after the next fitness challenge? How about a year from now? In five years?

We may not see the small, gradual gains as our journey progresses, but when we look back across tens of thousands of meters (and more), all the work we do will really add up!

Along the way, you’ll earn splat points (for each minute spent in the target heart-rate zone), burn some serious calories, and gain a supportive fitness community you’ll call family and friends. And we’ll be here to celebrate every amazing accomplishment with you!

Fitness challenges like our Orange Voyage will plant a seed of wanderlust in you, so you’ll be planning and looking forward to every upcoming Orangetheory Hattiesburg challenge. More than just challenging, they’re a lot of fun. We can’t wait!
